<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">So there is this thing going around called The Three Weavers. It's an allegory for sexual and emotional purity written in 1903, meaning it's now in the public domain, which is very popular among the Dominionist crowd.But after reading it I thought that the story needed tweaking to better represent reality. So I present you with, The Four Weavers.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<hr />
<br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Once upon a time in days of old there lived <s>three</s> four men who made their living by weaving
cloth for the mantles of others. Their small-but-tidy houses stood side by
side on the pebbled street of a flourishing city and their fortunes had been so
intertwined that whatever took place under the roof of one, happened under the
roofs of all. But though trained in the same art they were as different in
character as four close friends could be.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">“I always weave my webs the same length,” Herthold confided
to the other three. “There is no use wasting time measuring each man, when
I know the size which a perfect mantle should be.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">“Don’t you get weary with always weaving the same size? What
if you run out of the proper color of warp or woof? It is much more
convenient just to end the web there.” Insisted Hubert, for it was
well-known that he wove his whims into his fabric and then stretched or cut
afterward to fit whoever would buy.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Hildgardmar and Henry each shook his head sorrowfully and
returned to his work. Carefully and painstakingly, each measured first the
man and then the web by the inches and ells of his carefully marked yardstick. Each
knew the stature of those around them and their reward was their own
satisfaction at the perfection with which each cloak fit the shoulders of the
man for whom it had been made.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">In this pattern of similar fortunes, each man took a wife
and later each became the father of a tiny daughter. Thus were born
Hertha, Huberta, Hildegarde and Henrietta.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">One evening a short time later, the four friends sat
together under the sparkling stars discussing the future. There was a lull
in the conversation as each father mulled over the mysterious message he’d
received a few days before.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Finally, Herthold spoke up: “Friends, rejoice with me! Wonderful
fortune has befallen me and mine. Perhaps you know that the fairy of all
the weavers was present today for my Hertha’s christening? she left a
beautiful gift beside the cradle: a tiny loom, fashioned of the purest
gold. And a wonderful promise, to boot!”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Even as Herthold spoke, his three friends exchanged knowing
glances, for, you must know, that what had happened under the roof of one had
happened under the roofs of all. The fairy had made her appearance at the
christenings of the four wee maidens, and left beside each cradle a tiny,
golden loom with the same foretelling for each: that a prince would come
to seek her hand.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">“Think of it!” Hubert laughed, boisterously. “I,
the father of a queen!”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Herthold added, “It’s a good thing children provide for
their parents in old age. I should have a comfortable retirement.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">“Gently now, friends,” Hildgardmar reminded them. “What
if our daughters cannot fulfill the required conditions?”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">The three men fell silent thought, the fairy’s parting words
echoing in the halls of each man’s memory. “One thing is necessary: Your
daughter must weave upon this loom a mantle fit for the prince’s wearing. It
must be ample and fine, cloth of gold and woven in rainbow hues, and of
princely size and shape. Many will come to claim it, for your daughter
will be fair and charming, but if it is woven rightly, it shall be the guide by
which she may measure her suitors. And when the prince comes, it will fit
him in all faultlessness, as the falcon’s feathers fit the falcon. But if
it should not be ample and fine, worthy of royalty, the prince will refuse to
don it and the maiden’s heart will break.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Herthold sighed heavily. “It is a grievous task to give
a small girl. Mine shall know naught of the loom until she is old enough
to weave with skill and style. I’ll not waste my time with a child who
will be constantly distracted by childish fancies. Until then, I’ll lock
it away where she cannot destroy such good fortune with her folly.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">“What an old worrywart you are!” Hubert scoffed. “It
is not as if the fairy has asked her to weave straw into gold. Besides, I
am sure it is all a joke—you saw the loom. It could never make a mantle
large enough to cover a man’s head, much less his shoulders. It is only a
toy. Besides, what is written is written and I can’t change the outcome of
fate. I have good fortune coming and I plan on celebrating!”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Hildegardmar shook his head. “Upon the correct weaving
of this mantle lies my precious daughter’s whole future. I must teach her to weave with care and give
her a standard to measure by.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">“But what if my daughter is not fond of the prince?” Henry wondered. “What if he is not a good fit for her?”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">At this the others laughed.
“What does it matter?” Hubert
said. “She is only a woman after all. She can serve any man.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">The days passed quickly and the girls grew like the summer
wildflowers. One day as they strung daisies together, Huberta said to the
other three, “I have a loom made of solid gold in a little tower off of my
room.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">“Don’t be silly,” Hertha retorted. “A loom of gold
would belong to a princess.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Undaunted, Huberta continued. “I have one and you do
too. So does Hildegarde and so does Henrietta. A fairy gave them to
the four of us at our christening and said a prince will come to wed us if we
weave a mantle for him.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">“I don’t believe you,” Hertha snapped. “I never heard
of such a loom, and I don’t believe it is true, or else my father would surely
have told me.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Hildegarde interposed, “If it is true, Huberta, just show us
the loom.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Silently the four girls stole into the weaver’s house and
through Huberta’s room until they stood beside a doorway, standing half-open.
Entering the room they saw, against the wall, a small loom of pure gold that
had grown with Huberta’s growth and fit her as if made only for her. The
golden warp was the fairy’s gift, but the thread of the shuttle was of her own
spinning—from the airy dreams of a maiden’s fancy. Huberta ran her fingers
over the smooth gold, and motioned to the beginning of a mantle. “See? Already
I have begun.” She seized the shuttle as she spoke and crossed the threads
of a rosy-daydream with the golden warp.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Hertha and Hildegarde watched in silent envy, their eyes
following the glowing threads as they crossed in and out of the beautiful
pattern, bounding and leaping like summer clouds. But soon they were drawn to a new wonder: in
front of the loom so as to reflect through the window, hung an exquisite mirror
in which the shadows of the world passed by. As they watched a
curly-headed shepherd lad passed by in the street, his knobby staff held aloft
like a scepter.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">“See that shepherd lad?” Huberta laughed. “Doesn’t
he look a prince with his head held high and his crook in his hand like a
scepter? Are you surprised that I am at my loom both sunrise and sunset to
see him passing by?”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Hertha shook her head and pointed. “That long-haired
page is more my style. He looks almost noble dressed in velvet with a
feathered cap! I wonder why my father has said nothing to me of the
angel’s marvelous gift. I too, should be at my loom and weaving. I’m
as old as you are!”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Hildegarde clapped her hands. “I too!”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">“I don't know.”
Henrieta said. "There are other things to do."</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Hertha laughed. "Then you are no true maiden. A true maiden would only care about weaving. Are you trying to be a boy?" At this the others laughed as well. "I should be weaving." She said again.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Huberta shrugged her shoulders. “Why don’t you ask your
father? Perhaps he has forgotten.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Hertha was not long in reaching her home, and sought her
father as he busily weaved the same pattern he always used. Timidly she
crept to his side and stood with downcast eyes until he paused. “Father,
where is my loom? Huberta has already begun and I, too, would like to be
weaving for my prince.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Herthold leaped from his stool, sending the shuttle clattering. “Hertha,
listen to me! Never again must you listen to such idle fairy tales. When
you are grown, I will call you and then I will teach you the art of weaving,
but not a moment sooner. I am ashamed that my daughter would indulge in
such foolish fantasies.” He turned stormily back to his weaving, leaving a
confused Hertha to creep away to her room, where she threw herself on her bed
and wept violently. “My father must not love me,” she whimpered into her
blankets. “But someday my prince will.” Suddenly she stood and walked
resolutely to the wall, feeling behind a rich tapestry that adorned it until
her fingers closed around the doorknob of a secret room. Inside she found a golden loom filled with
shining thread and a mirror in which the shadows of the world passed by. Smiling
through her tears, Hertha took hold of the shuttle to send the first woof
thread shimmering through the warp, and as she did so the long-haired page
hurried past, clutching his velvet cap. “How like a prince he is! My
father is a tyrant to forbid me such a simple pleasure as weaving. How can
it harm me?”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">At the same time, little Hildegarde stood before her father
patiently measured a web by the silver yardstick he kept near him. “Is it
true, dear father, what Huberta says about our looms? After I saw her
loom, I pushed back the bolt to an inner room from mine and there I found such
a loom as hers, and a fascinating mirror. I want badly begin my mantle,
but I crave your permission and your advice, since you are a more experienced
weaver than I.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Hildegarde’s father laid down his yardstick and placed his
hands on his small daughter’s shoulders. Smiling tenderly he answered, “I
have often looked forward to this day, my little one, although I did not think
you would come so soon with your questions. It’s true. On the right
weaving of this web depends the happiness of you as well as your descendents. It’s
a dangerous gift the fairy left you, for that mirror will tempt you to weave to
fit the shifting shadows. But listen to your father who has never yet
deceived you: keep always by your side this silver yardstick for it marks
the inches and ells to which the stature of a prince must measure. Not
until the web cloth fully equals it can it be safely taken from the loom. You are young and the loom small, but it is a
marvelous gift that lengthens with your growth until you can hold it up against
the yardstick and find that it measures to the last inch the size demanded by a
prince’s noble stature. You will often be dazzled by the mirror’s sights,
and youths will come to you begging, ‘Give me the royal mantle, Hildegarde–I am
your prince.’ Do not be persuaded to cut it loose and give it him. Weave
patiently until you have fashioned a web that will fit your prince faultlessly.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">With a quick impulse, Hildegarde threw her arms around her
father’s neck. Then Hildegardmar took up the yardstick in one hand and his
daughter by the other and led her into the inner chamber where her golden loom
awaited. He hung the sterling yardstick next to the tempting mirror, laid
her hands on the shuttle and left her with his blessing, to weave.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Henrietta slowly walked home, considering what she had
seen. When she reached home she too
addressed her father, and told him of the tidings of the day. “Do I have a loom as well, father?” She asked.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">“Yes, you do. It is
through here, your mother and I have kept it until the day you would ask me of
it.” He took her to a small room,
neither hidden nor locked, where the loom waited, patiently. “Are you wanting to learn to weave?”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Henrietta considered, but then shook her head. “No, I do not believe I am ready yet. But father, how will I know what size to make
the mantle when I am ready?”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">“Come here.” Henry
led his daughter to his workbench where he produced a copper yardstick, one of
the ones he used to tailor a mantle to each man, for each man is different. “Take this yardstick and when you see a measurement
in person that would make you happy in a partner then write it on here. When you have all the measurements then you
will be able to weave a mantle to fit the person who will fit you best.” </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">With the copper yardstick in hand Henrietta put on her cloak
and went to the market, the first of many trips she would make, first with her
parents and then, when she was older, to the school there. All the while she met many people of all
shapes and sizes, and she took as many measurements as she could. When one seemed like it would best suit she
marked it on her yardstick, and so, overtime, she began to see what sort of
partner would fit her best.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">The Maidens grew quickly.
Hertha grew tall and lovely, treading the house with the airy grace of
youth, yet fearing her father’s disapproval she fled more and more often to the
inner chamber where she worked in secret, hoping for a glimpse of “her” page. She
called him a prince in her thoughts and was sure that, clothed in the mantle
she wove he would soon appear as royal as she perceived him.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Huberta laughed brazenly about her web and the prince she
hoped to capture with it. Her father often teased her while she sat by him at
his weaving. “Is that your prince?” But he never went with her into
the inner room so he never knew that she cut the strands of one year’s weaving
and gave the cloak to the curly-headed shepherd lad. But Huberta saw other
figures in her mirror which pleased her fickle fancy and she began another web.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Years passed by, Huberta scattering favors to whoever would
call her “darling” and Hertha, faithful to the page. Hildegarde worked
carefully under her father’s guidance, weaving intricate patterns of rose and
gold. One day a face flashed across her mirror, so noble and earnest that
she started back, her heart fluttering in her bosom. “Father! Surely
it’s him!”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">“My daughter,” old Hildgarmar said gently. “He only
measures as an ordinary man. You are still young. Weave on and you
shall fashion a royal web. This is not the one for you.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Obediently Hildegarde went back to her weaving, and watched
in silence as the man disappeared from her mirror. Again time swept over
the figures of the weaving maidens, and spring came bringing restlessness to
Hildegarde’s heart. The face that crossed her mirror this time was bold
and brave, decked with plumes and glittering with a silver helmet. She knew how lovely her mantle would look
spread across his broad, mail-clad shoulders and hastened to her father to
plead his blessing. “Father, a knight in shining armor has come to me and
asked me for the mantle. Measured by your yardstick it would fit him
faultlessly.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Hildgardemar followed his daughter into the inner room and
stood for a long time looking into the mirror at the shining stranger. Then
he held up the yardstick and shook his head.“It fits only because you are not
yet ready to wed a prince. See? Your mantle reaches only to the size
of a knight. A knight may seem noble, my daughter, but he lacks a
handbreadth of full stature and you must weave that handbreadth for the wearing
of a prince.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Tears sprang to Hildegarde’s eyes. “But father, suppose
the prince should never come? Suppose I
should give up the one destined for me and be left forever to weave in
solitude?”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Tenderly, Hildgardmar took his daughter in his arms. “I
am an old man, Hildegarde, knowing far more of the world than you, my daughter. Better
to weave forever, than to settle for a man who does not measure up. Have
patience just a little longer. In another year, think of the mantle you
will have made!”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">With a bowed head Hildegarde returned to her work. As
the tempting images rose before her in the mirror, she turned her eyes to the
yardstick and wove on.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Meanwhile Henrietta had yet to even begin her weaving. She spent her days in the village, learning
at the school and helping her mother in the family shop. “Don’t you wish to begin weaving your mantle?” Her father asked her one day.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">“Not yet, father.”
She said quietly. “There are
still many things to learn and do, and more measurements to take.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">But one day she woke and she knew that her time had
come. Without a look in the mirror Henrietta
settled at her loom and began to weave.
She did not weave short lengths to give to those who called her ‘darling’,
for while many had tried she had learned from watching the maidens in the
market that such promises would come and go like the winds of the spring, never
to be relied upon. There was no page
lingering in her mirror, the love and trust of her parents had been enough, she
had never had a need to turn to another to give her the love and acceptance all
maidens craved. And she did not weave
some ideal, rose gold beauty, based upon a set measurement sent by men from far
away with no regard for how people truly measured. No, she wove a cloth based
upon her own yardstick, and kept her own counsel.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">At last it came to pass when the maidens had all four grown
into tall and beautiful women that a prince came riding into the village and,
stopping before the house of Hubert, asked him for the hand of his daughter.
With a bow and a flourish, Hubert vanished to seek her in the garden. “Well,
Huberta, your prince has finally come. Run and get your royal mantle. It
must be splendid after weaving all these years!” When she returned with a
small, shimmering cloth over one arm, Hubert was startled by its pigmy size. “Is
this a jest?”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Hanging her head, Huberta answered, “I—I have already given
a few mantles away. I have no more of
the golden thread the fairy left me.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Hubert rubbed his chin, his brow knit in thought. “Surely
it is no worse than what many another has done. No doubt you were only
passing time and meant nothing serious by your favors. Besides, it’s still
a mantle. Only an unreasonable prince would expect a beautiful girl to
wait forever for him.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Together Hubert and his daughter bore the small out to where
the prince stood waiting. When he saw
them approaching, he bounded eagerly forward to receive from the maiden’s hand
his cloak, but his face fell as she held it up before him. He gazed deeply
into Huberta’s beautiful eyes and sadly shook his head. Turning his back
on her, he mounted his horse and rode from that house forever. The dwarf
mantle fell from the shocked Huberta’s hands and she covered her face and sank
to her knees and wept until her heart broke.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">The same day a prince approached the house of Herthold and
dismounted. Entering, he found Herthold studiously at work, and requested
his daughter’s hand in marriage. Herthold
rose abruptly and answered, “Have you come at last? Excellent. My
daughter is as rare a jewel as you could desire. Wait one moment.” He
walked briskly to the doorway leading to the garden and called for his
daughter. When she did not answer, he ascended the stairs toward her room
and met her halfway, her face downcast and blushing. “Your prince has
come!” Herthold explained, seizing her hand and leading his unwilling daughter
into the room from which she’d just come. “We must make haste!” But
even as he said this his eye fell on the loom, standing empty by the far wall. “What
is the meaning of this?”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Defiantly, Hertha raised her head. “If you mean to
teach me to weave, you’re too late. Since you scorned me as foolish I wove
in secret, and when my prince came long ago, I gave him the mantle. Look! See
him?”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">The astonished Herthold turned his eyes from the loom to the
window, where he saw the long-haired page standing eagerly, clothed in the
mantle which Hertha had woven for him. In
a rage, Herthold tore the mantle from the lad’s shoulders and dragged his
daughter downstairs. But the prince looked contemptuously on the mantle,
the angry father and the resistant daughter. Without a word, he left the
house, mounted his horse and left the town at a gallop. Standing brokenly
in the doorway, Hertha saw her adored page, now stripped of the princely robe
which her fond imagining had woven around him. She saw his unworthy
shoulders against those of the retreating prince and with a cry she flung her
mantle at her father’s feet, screaming in agony as her heart broke. “Fie!”
Her father exclaimed. “You have
brought shame upon this house! Now you
must bear your shame forever!” And with
that he dragged her in and the punishment began.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Next came a gallant prince to the humble abode of
Hildgardemar, and entered the house to seek permission to claim his bride. Hildgardmar
looked long and carefully at the young prince, then nodded to his daughter who
sat by his side. With a pounding heart she dashed up the stairs to her
room and clipped the golden threads that held her now-finished mantle in the
loom. For a brief instant she gazed at herself in the mirror, her eyes
running over the silver yardstick as she held her web before her. “It
measures!” she breathed in a tone of awe. “So perfect!” With the
mantle in her hand she returned to offer her gift to the prince. He knelt
at once so that she could spread it across his shoulders and, glancing shyly
into his face, she observed with wonder that her weaving fit him faultlessly. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">The prince took her hand in his and led her outside to his
waiting horse. As her father assisted her to mount behind her prince he
whispered, “Farewell, my daughter. Because
you kept in view the silver yardstick which I gave you, even in childhood,
because not even one inch of the golden thread was squandered on another,
because you waited cheerfully and patiently until your womanly fingers had
woven the best that lay in your womanly heart, may all happiness be yours! Receive
it as your fitting crown!” Then Hildegarde stooped to kiss her father, and
with his blessing crowning her lovely brow, she rode away behind the prince. With
tears in his eyes, Hildgardemar watched, sure that her life would be filled
with joy and love as it had been written.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">But before the moon hand turned from dark to full Hildegarde
returned to her father’s home. Her dress
was torn and her eyes were full of pain.
“The mantle does not fit the Prince, Father!" She wailed. "It only fits his armor!"</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Hildgardemar looked upon her with scorn. "Of course it only fits his armor! That yardstick was made to fit the ideal Prince, by men far away. But you cannot make a standard to fit every man for every man is different. So they made it to fit the armor, knowing that any man who fits the ideal armor must be ideal himself."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">"But he is evil!” She said. “ He forced me to work as his
servant, while he went to dally with others in the village!" She fell to her knees and wept. "He does not love me and I do not love him."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">"If the Prince desires you to be his servant then you must submit to him, for he is your Prince now. Do his will and rest assured that someday he will grow to fit that armor. In the meantime be comforted by knowing that everyone in the village will see you as happy and content with your ideal mantle over his ideal armor. They need not ever know the truth of the matter.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Hildegarde threw her apron over her head and ran back to her
prince’s castle, where she lived in misery for the rest of her days for there was no need for him to ever grow to fit his armor, the armos itself was enough to give him all the respect he ever wanted.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Sometime after this the fourth prince arrived at the home of
the fourth maiden. “Just one moment.” Her father said. He went to find his daughter. “A prince is here.” He said.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">With a serene smile Henrietta clipped off her mantle and
took it out to the prince. “It’s not
finished!” The prince complained.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">“No, for I shall never stop learning and growing and
dreaming dreams.” She replied. “So my mantle will never be finished.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">“You must stop now!”
he insisted. “And finish, for you
must never change.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Henrietta calmly took the mantle back before the Prince
could put it over his shoulders. “A
Prince you may be, but you are not the one for me.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">The Prince rode away in disgust and told everyone in the
village that she was too educated to marry,</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Sometime later another prince came to her door. Again she brought him her mantle. “It has holes!”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">“Those are the dreams you cannot fill. No one can, those threads I weave into my own cloth.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">“You are not allowed to have your own cloth. My dreams are all that matters, not yours”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Henrietta calmly took the mantle back before the Prince
could put it over his shoulders. “A
Prince you may be, but you are not the one for me.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">The Prince rode away in disgust and told everyone in the
village that she was too liberated to marry.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">A few days after this another Prince arrived at her
door. Once again Henrietta brought out
her mantle. He looked it over. “It will not fit!”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">“Then you do not fit the measurements I require.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">“Your measurements!”
He scoffed. “I fit the ideal armor which fits the ideal measurements, that is all that matters.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Henrietta calmly took the mantle back before the Prince
could put it over his shoulders. “A
Prince you may be, but you are not the one for me.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">This prince also rode away in disgust, and told the village
that she was too prideful to marry.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">A few more days passed before another Prince darkened their
door. As he looked over the mantle
Henrietta asked him, “Where is the mantle you made for me?”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">“A prince doesn’t make mantles. He does not spend his time cowering in the
dark over a loom watching shadows in a mirror, he goes out and has adventures. Besides, one as
educated, liberated and prideful as yourself does not deserve the mantle of a
Prince.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Henrietta calmly took the mantle back before the Prince
could put it over his shoulders. “A
Prince you may be, but you are not the one for me.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">This Prince rode off and told everyone that she was immoral
on top of it all.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">The next day Henry sighed as he returned from the village. “Here”.
He said to Henrietta, presenting her with a horse. “Because you spent your time learning in the
village school and learning how to make your way in the marketplace rather than
focusing on weaving you now have the knowledge and skill to make your own way
in the world, but the villagers believe you no longer deserve to be a part of
our village. No more Princes from our
land will come to our door. Go now and
find the one who bests fits your mantle.
But keep your mantle close, for it is a treasure that will someday make
the partner you choose into royalty.
When you do, bring that one back here, for we wish to meet the one who
makes our daughter happy at last.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">And with that Henrietta packed up her bags and her mantle,
mounted the horse her father had given her, and rode away. She had many adventures, and wove even more
dreams, but in the end she found someone to fit her mantle, and was happy
evermore.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">The End</span></div>

<u>British Hotel Replaces Bedside Bibles with <i>Fifty Shades of Grey</i></u><div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="color: #741b47;">Nestled in the picturesque Lake District of northwest England, the Damson Dene Hotel seems, at first glance, like the typical English countryside hotel. But its bedside tables contain a shocking secret. Instead of the traditional bedside Gideon Bible placed at arm’s reach, its forty rooms each contain a copy of E.L. James’ bestselling erotic novel <em style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Fifty Shades of Grey</em>.</span> </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="color: #741b47;">Jonathan Denby, owner of the hotel, <a href="http://overheadbin.nbcnews.com/_news/2012/07/24/12909862-hotel-replaces-bibles-with-fifty-shades-of-grey?lite&__utma=14933801.1294435862.1343406266.1343406266.1343406266.1&__utmb=14933801.9.10.1343406266&__utmc=14933801&__utmx=-&__utmz=14933801.1343406266.1.1.utmcsr=asus.us.msn.com%7Cutmccn=(referral)%7Cutmcmd=referral%7Cutmcct=/&__utmv=14933801.%7C8=Earned%20By=msnbc%7Cus%20news%7Cusnewsfranchise=1%5E12=Landing%20Content=Original=1%5E13=Landing%20Hostname=usnews.nbcnews.com=1%5E30=Visit%20Type%20to%20Content=Internal%20to%20Original=1&__utmk=178311460" style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;" target="_blank">told</a> NBC News he felt that in a secular society, it was “wholly inappropriate” to put a religious book in someone’s bedroom. He confessed the novel, which started life as <em style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Twilight</em> fan-fiction, wasn’t his first choice of replacement. In fact, he hasn’t even read it. “I was thinking originally of putting in a book by Ayn Rand — <em style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Atlas Shrugged</em> was my first thought,” he said, but “because everybody is reading <em style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Fifty Shades of Grey</em>, we thought it would be a hospitable thing to do, to have this available for our guests, especially if some of them were a little bit shy about buying it because of its reputation.”</span> </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">

<br />
They just do. Even when it would be easy to tell a simple version of the truth they lie anyway. The funny thing about it is that they have yet to realize that:<br />
<br />
1 - They will be caught <br />
2 - It will be recorded on the internet <br />
3 - Everyone will know. <br />
<br />
So not too long ago Dan Cathay, president of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chick-fil-a">Chick-Fil-A</a>, a chain of fast food joints, was quited in the <a href="http://www.bpnews.net/BPnews.asp?ID=38271">Baptist Press</a> as saying:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="color: #351c75;">Some have opposed the company's support of the traditional family. "Well, guilty as charged," said Cathy when asked about the company's position.</span><span style="background-color: white;"> </span></blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="color: #351c75;">"We are very much supportive of the family -- the biblical definition of the family unit. We are a family-owned business, a family-led business, and we are married to our first wives. We give God thanks for that.</span></blockquote>
Now everyone who's head hasn't been under a rock for the past few years knows that "the biblical definition of the family unit" means "not gay". Now, honestly, this is not a huge deal anymore. Dan Cathay was going on record as being a member of the <a href="http://www.patheos.com/blogs/slacktivist/2012/05/05/the-big-four-markers-of-the-evangelical-tribe/">Tribe</a>*, a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pauline_Christianity">Paulist</a>**, an American Christian, and it's his right to do so. It's also his right to work his beliefs into his private company.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
And it is the right of every person out there to not support his business. It's called voting with your dollars. And it is the right of other companies to choose not to do business with his company.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Enter the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Henson_Company">Jim Henson Company</a>, maker of toys for their kid's meals. On July 20, 2012 The Henson Company decided to cut ties with Chick-fil-a over this issue. From their<a href="https://www.facebook.com/notes/the-jim-henson-company/july-20-2012/10150928864755563#!/notes/the-jim-henson-company/july-20-2012/10150928864755563"> Facebook page</a>:</div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="color: #741b47;">The Jim Henson Company has celebrated and embraced diversity and inclusiveness for over fifty years and we have notified Chick-Fil-A that we do not wish to partner with them on any future endeavors. Lisa Henson, our CEO is personally a strong supporter of gay marriage and has directed us to donate the payment we received from Chick-Fil-A to GLAAD. (http://www.glaad.org/) </span></blockquote>
<br />
<br />
And that is just as much their right. Fine, great, wonderful. <br />
<br />
Up until these signs started appearing in Chick-fil-a stores.<br />
<div>
<span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2012/07/25/article-2178548-143406F5000005DC-7_634x348.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="175" src="http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2012/07/25/article-2178548-143406F5000005DC-7_634x348.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>

<br />
Their fingers are getting stuck in the puppet holes. Really. As of July 19th. Probably the very day that The Henson Company told Chick-Fil-A to stop carrying their stuff since good corporate playerhood demand that you tell everyone before you make the public announcement.<br />
<br />
Can't just say "we're not carrying the Muppets anymore". Can't just say "we're out". No, you have to make up a lie so other, weaker-minded members of the tribe don't realize that there's another way of looking at the world out there. They can't handle anyone disagreeing with them at all.<br />
<br />
Really, can't we just give them their own country all ready? We'll all be so much happier.<br />

<span style="color: #741b47;">I learned a few things growing up as an evangelical Christian: that abortion is murder; homosexuality, sin; evolution, nonsense; and environmentalism, a farce. I learned to accept these ideas — the “big four” — as part of the package deal of Christianity. In some circles, I learned that my eternal salvation hinged on it. Those who denied them were outsiders, liberals, and legitimate targets for evangelism. If they didn’t change their minds after being “witnessed to,” they became legitimate targets for hell.</span></blockquote>

Charles Pierce has an interesting <a href="http://www.esquire.com/blogs/politics/morrill-act-of-1862-10520324">post </a>up today about the Morrill Act which created the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_land-grant_universities">land-grant college system</a>. This is the college system that was intended to give us better farmers and schoolteachers and has given us all so very much more.<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="color: #741b47;">On July 2, 1862, President Abraham Lincoln signed into law what was known as the Morrill Act. The new law authorized the creation of what became known as "land-grant colleges," the purpose of which, as described in the Act was: <i>"...without excluding other scientific and classical studies and including military tactic, to teach such branches of learning as are related to agriculture and the mechanic arts, in such manner as the legislatures of the States may respectively prescribe, in order to promote the liberal and practical education of the industrial classes in the several pursuits and professions in life."</i></span></blockquote>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
If you've ever attended a state college or university because the in-state tuition was actually affordable, then you have this act to thank.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
But it's not only that.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
From the established land-grant colleges came the cooperative extension services that aided farmers all over the country and the agricultural experimentation centers that produced, among other things, the National Arboretum in Washington, D.C.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So if you've ever taken a class at an extension service, or if you've ever been a farmer or if you've ever eaten <i>food</i> then this act has helped you in some way.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Also, if you've ever participated in 4-H then you've been helped by this act. From <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/4-H">Wikipedia</a>:<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="color: #0b5394;">The foundations of 4-H began around the start of the twentieth century, with the work of several people in different parts of the United States. The focal point of 4-H has been the idea of practical and hands-on learning, which came from the desire to make public school education more connected to rural life. Early programs tied both public and private resources together to benefit rural youth.</span><span style="background-color: white;"> </span></blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="color: #0b5394;">During this time, researchers at experiment stations of the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Land-grant_university">land-grant universities</a> and USDA saw that adults in the farming community did not readily accept new agricultural discoveries, but educators found that youth would experiment with these new ideas and then share their experiences and successes with the adults. So rural youth programs became a way to introduce new <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_agriculture_and_food_technology">agriculture technology</a> to the adults.</span></blockquote>
<br />
These universities have helped millions of us live better lives, no?</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Of course back then there was opposition:</div>
<div>
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i><span style="color: #741b47;">This heavy reliance upon Article IV led to strong counterattacks.Democratic Senator Clement Clay of Alabama was by far the most eloquent to stand against it. He insisted that the land grants were a "magnificent bribe" to encourage Alabama to "surrender to the federal power her original and reserved right to manage her own domesticand internal affairs." He argued that public lands were never meant to support such arrangements. This was followed witha long, vivid picture of judicious forefathers building limitation afterlimitation into the Constitution concerning the powers of the Federal Government. With the last stroke of his brush, Clay asked if one could believe that such a careful limitation was only a sham, that through deliberate intent or stupidity these great men had provided a means to circumvent their careful limitation of federal power.</span></i> </blockquote>
<br />
(Please remember that since then the Democrats and Republicans have completely flipped their positions on pretty much everything.)</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
In the end we were only able to pass it because the states that opposed the idea of a national system of universities had already seceded from the Union.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
You know, these guys.</div>

He documents how these elites have always feared and opposed universal literacy, public schools and libraries, and a free press. (Lind adds that they have historically been profoundly anti-technology as well, far preferring solutions that involve finding more serfs and throwing them at a problem whenever possible. Why buy a bulldozer when 150 convicts on a chain gang can grade your road instead?) Unlike the Puritan elites, who wore their wealth modestly and dedicated themselves to the common good, Southern elites sank their money into ostentatious homes and clothing and the pursuit of pleasure — including lavish parties, games of fortune, predatory sexual conquests, and blood sports involving ritualized animal abuse spectacles.</span><span style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 20px; text-align: left;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 20px; text-align: left;">.....</span>In the old South, on the other hand, the degree of liberty you enjoyed was a direct function of your God-given place in the social hierarchy. The higher your status, the more authority you had, and the more “liberty” you could exercise — which meant, in practical terms, that you had the right to take more “liberties” with the lives, rights and property of other people. Like an English lord unfettered from the Magna Carta, nobody had the authority to tell a Southern gentleman what to do with resources under his control. In this model, that’s what liberty <em style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; list-style: none; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">is</em>. If you don’t have the freedom to rape, beat, torture, kill, enslave, or exploit your underlings (including your wife and children) with impunity — or abuse the land, or enforce rules on others that you will never have to answer to yourself — then you can’t really call yourself a free man.</span><span style="background-color: white;"> </span></blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="color: #274e13;">When a Southern conservative talks about “losing his liberty,” the loss of this absolute domination over the people and property under his control — and, worse, the loss of status and the resulting risk of being held accountable for laws that he was once exempt from — is what he’s really talking about. In this view, freedom is a zero-sum game. Anything that gives more freedom and rights to lower-status people can’t help but put serious limits on the freedom of the upper classes to use those people as they please. It cannot be any other way. So they find Yankee-style rights expansions absolutely intolerable, to the point where they’re willing to fight and die to preserve their divine right to rule.</span></blockquote>

<b><span style="color: #741b47;">California pastor arrested for child molestation</span></b><br />
<span style="color: #741b47;"><br />VACAVILLE, Calif. -- A pastor at a Fairfield church was arrested on suspicion of molesting five children, police said.<br /><br />Authorities took the Rev. Robert "Silas" Ruark, 65, into custody on Thursday at his home in Suisun City after investigating the allegations, The Vacaville Reporter reported ( http://bit.ly/KI3MEa).<br /><br />He was booked into Solano County Jail. The Fairfield Police Department could not immediately confirm Friday whether he had retained a lawyer.<br /><br /><b>Clergy at the Orthodox Christian diocese that oversees St. Timothy Orthodox Church contacted police and asked for an investigation</b>, the newspaper said.<br /><br />The alleged victims now range in age from 20 to 24. Police said they reported being molested when they were as young as 13 and photographed in the nude, some when left alone at the church with the pastor.<br /><br />Ruark has been a pastor at St. Timothy since he was ordained in 1997. <b>The diocese has told authorities it will cooperate fully.</b></span><br />

<br />
Time to get a little perspective here, people.<br />
<br />
Let me introduce you to The Punisher. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://herodistrict.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/2008-12-09-Punisher2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://herodistrict.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/2008-12-09-Punisher2.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Well, let<a href="http://holybulliesandheadlessmonsters.blogspot.com/2012/06/marvel-comics-proves-religious-right.html"> Alvin McEwan</a> introduce you to The Punisher. The Punisher is a comic put out by Marvel Comics, which has included:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="color: #741b47;">Eviscerations (i.e. disembowlements), cannibalism, rapes, immolations (i.e. setting people on fire), close-ups of violent shootings, death by snakes, piranhas, sharks, polar bears (the scene in which the polar bear swipes the man's head clean off was simply incredible), beheadings, the destruction of an entire island by a nuclear bomb, a tossing of a gangster from the top of the Empire State building (in the full view of a young teenager who got super excited over it), testicular castrations . . .<br />I think you get the picture.</span></blockquote>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
According to <a href="http://www.onenewsnow.com/Culture/Default.aspx?id=1607554">One News Now</a>:</div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="color: #351c75;">. . . Focus on the Family's Glenn Stanton, director of family formation studies, says it is "shameful" to press this issue upon children.</span></blockquote>
<div>
And</div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="color: #351c75;"><br />. . .Monica Cole of OneMillionMoms.com, an advocacy branch of the American Family Association, agrees.<br />"DC Comics and Marvel, they have an agenda, and it's to indoctrinate children at a younger age," she laments. "And they're doing it. They're being successful at it."</span></blockquote>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
But they don't mean this.<br /><div>

<div>
This is why I'm an Agnostic <a href="http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Maltheism">Maltheist</a>. If there is a God, and I seriously doubt that, then he is evil and cruel and not only does not deserve worship but needs to be actively countered by any loving, rational human being. I mean, just look at his followers. They fight against love and at best tacitly approve of the worst violence imaginable. If he was real and he didn't approve, wouldn't he change their minds and hearts? But he doesn't. In fact, if you look at his <a href="http://skepticsannotatedbible.com/cruelty/long.html">Bible </a>he's rather into the whole thing.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
No thanks, I'll pass. And congratulate Northstar on his wedding day.</div>

I've missed a few things, my in-laws have been in town.<br />
<br />
So Jeremy Hooper over at <a href="http://www.goodasyou.org/good_as_you/2012/05/md-pastor-on-killing-gays-i-will-be-very-honest-with-you-my-flesh-kind-of-likes-that-idea.html">Good As You</a> reports on Baptist Pastor Leatherman's desire to just kill off all the gay people.<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="color: #351c75;">"To be… have a tendency to be effeminate or homosexual is just as wicked as to have a tendency to be a womanizer. Sinful nature does not justify sinful behavior. Now what is our take? What is our response? I appreciate your bearing with me tonight. First of all, there is a danger of reacting in the flesh, of responding not in a scriptural, spiritual way, but in a fleshly way. Kill them all. Right? I will be very honest with you. My flesh kind of likes that idea. But it grieves the Holy Spirit. It violates Scripture. It is wrong."</span></blockquote>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
At least he got the part about murder bring wrong correct.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Jeremy also <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/05/30/kansas-pastor-curtis-knapp-gays-death_n_1556061.html">reports </a>on a Baptist Pastor Knapp who thinks that if the government does it, well, then the Holy Spirit might not mind.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="color: #351c75;">"Oh, so you're saying we should go out and start killing them? No, I'm saying the government should. They won't, but they should."</span></blockquote>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Pastor Baity of the Berean Baptist Church <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/05/07/ron-baity-north-carolina-pastor-amendment-one-gay-marriage_n_1497741.html">declares </a>that homosexuality should be illegal as always.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="color: #351c75;">"For 300 years, we had laws that would prosecute that lifestyle. We've gone down the wrong path. We've become so dumb that we have accepted a lie for the truth, and we've...discarded the truth on the shoals of shipwreck!" </span></blockquote>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Except it really wasn't.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Another Berean Baptist, Pastor Harris, <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/05/01/north-carolina-pastor-sea_n_1468618.html">tells parents</a> to beat the gay out of their children.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="color: #351c75;">"So your little son starts to act a little girlish when he is four years old and instead of squashing that like a cockroach and saying, 'Man up, son, get that dress off you and get outside and dig a ditch, because that is what boys do,' you get out the camera and you start taking pictures of Johnny acting like a female and then you upload it to YouTube and everybody laughs about it and the next thing you know, this dude, this kid is acting out childhood fantasies that should have been squashed.</span> </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="color: #351c75;">Dads, the second you see your son dropping the limp wrist, you walk over there and crack that wrist. Man up. Give him a good punch. Ok? You are not going to act like that. You were made by God to be a male and you are going to be a male. And when your daughter starts acting too butch, you reign [sic] her in. And you say, 'Oh, no, sweetheart. You can play sports. Play them to the glory of God. But sometimes you are going to act like a girl and walk like a girl and talk like a girl and smell like a girl and that means you are going to be beautiful. You are going to be attractive. You are going to dress yourself up.'"</span></blockquote>
<br />
He tried to say this was taken out of context. Right.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
And last but not least HuffPo<a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/05/21/north-carolina-pastor-gay-rant-starvation_n_1533463.html"> brings us</a> Baptist Pastor Worley who is bringing back the old concentration camp idea.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="color: #351c75;">"Build a great, big, large fence -- 150 or 100 mile long -- put all the lesbians in there. Do the same thing for the queers and the homosexuals and have that fence electrified so they can't get out...and you know what, in a few years, they'll die out...do you know why? They can't reproduce!"</span></blockquote>

<div>
In the great church evil - good continuum I do believe that Baptists are a solid anchor on the evil side of things. Now, if you're about to tell me that you're a Baptist and not all Baptists are like that, I must point out that y'all have so many rotten apples going in your bushel that you might want to get out before they rot you out too.</div>

Once again the atheist must school you. And in red letters because you know who is saying these things.</div>

<br />
I'm way overdue for a finished projects post.<br />
<br />
Among the projects finished recently is this years sunhat. I made the pattern a few years ago using the Wild Ginger <a href="http://www.wildginger.com/">WildThings pattern maker</a><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyla0JE3L4w8vG2SfZPNdSx2kVDN1z6HWrS62NIjlcGqm2k3E9jvguyKOlAin9KJ64gWuX6QdZL0X8dH4_VLc1ELOqPwK6hzBhX4SEdD9Ugr2_8cKvgjmhD29ZHrkeq9MIzDT4wg/s1600/Hat3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="171" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyla0JE3L4w8vG2SfZPNdSx2kVDN1z6HWrS62NIjlcGqm2k3E9jvguyKOlAin9KJ64gWuX6QdZL0X8dH4_VLc1ELOqPwK6hzBhX4SEdD9Ugr2_8cKvgjmhD29ZHrkeq9MIzDT4wg/s320/Hat3.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Made out of cool 100% cotton, which will also shade my scalp from sunburn. I've done that before, and it's miserable.<br />
<br />
It does look a bit wrinkly and rumpled, I know.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCT7Abn0IpzXv8kti9PiofDuVRe1r2TM3P4HfX8osWvn3eQvud8HdP23yFb5A5vEkHZCRMVZnN50Zo1eI2oVPdMNer4quKY-7VdqeLn-BSDMjxdmUAZhF5Jt3ciNsgdE4DTYZWRw/s1600/Hat2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCT7Abn0IpzXv8kti9PiofDuVRe1r2TM3P4HfX8osWvn3eQvud8HdP23yFb5A5vEkHZCRMVZnN50Zo1eI2oVPdMNer4quKY-7VdqeLn-BSDMjxdmUAZhF5Jt3ciNsgdE4DTYZWRw/s320/Hat2.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
But there is a good reason. See that little, round bag lying next to it? Well, the frame of this hat is made of the same wire that lets you fold up tents and those sunshades that fit in your windshield, and what not. (The thing across the top is my bow, which has nothing to do with this post.)<br />
<br />
So the whole hat, bow and all, folds down into the pouch and then into your purse.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0OC3Gfz3gvJ6RmP-ssqeDPamd7LrG-T6edGemecz3UviLJMrlklN58grSghG6ZfZ1qwQz1URqSwMloK1FOs3ko3tz4YZo3A4yOmANDgJNvzhQjbYwBr0BJ6DYqhQ69DuIQ3_NRQ/s1600/Hat1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0OC3Gfz3gvJ6RmP-ssqeDPamd7LrG-T6edGemecz3UviLJMrlklN58grSghG6ZfZ1qwQz1URqSwMloK1FOs3ko3tz4YZo3A4yOmANDgJNvzhQjbYwBr0BJ6DYqhQ69DuIQ3_NRQ/s320/Hat1.jpg" width="315" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
Rather nifty, if you don't mind a rumpled hat.<br />
<br />
Speaking of things that go on your head, I finished a flock of knitted hair slides.<br />

I used the pattern from <a href="http://www.oneskeinwonders.com/">OneSkein Wonders</a>, but without the I-cord trim, which means they curl a bit.They're good for turning a braid into a bun, very nice on hot days. And an unused double pointed needle makes a fantastic hair stick.</div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">So R. Albert Mohler Jr, president of the <a href="http://www.sbts.edu/">Southern Baptist Theological Seminary</a>, made the <a href="http://religion.blogs.cnn.com/2012/05/21/my-take-the-bible-condemns-a-lot-but-heres-why-we-focus-on-homosexuality/?hpt=hp_c1">front page of CNN.com today</a> trying to answer the question on why Conservative Christians focus on Homosexuality. I was going to frisk this one, simply because I found it so very, very friskable, but I don't have time this week, my in-laws are coming to visit and I have a house to clean.</span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">But there are a few points I'd like to make.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /><span style="color: #0b5394;">Given the heated nature of our current debates, it’s a question conservative Christians have learned to expect. “Look,” we are told, “the Bible condemns eating shellfish, wearing mixed fabrics and any number of other things. Why do you ignore those things and insist that the Bible must be obeyed when it comes to sex?”</span><br /><snip><br /><br /><span style="color: #0b5394;">An honest consideration of the Bible reveals that most of the biblical laws people point to in asking this question, such as laws against eating shellfish or wearing mixed fabrics, are part of the holiness code assigned to Israel in the Old Testament. That code was to set Israel, God’s covenant people, apart from all other nations on everything from morality to diet.<br /><br />As the Book of Acts makes clear, Christians are not obligated to follow this holiness code. This is made clear in Peter’s vision in Acts 10:15. Peter is told, “What God has made clean, do not call common.”</span><br /><br />In other words, there is no kosher code for Christians. </snip></span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Err, no...</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I didn't pick up on this on the first pass. Thankfully <a href="http://www.patheos.com/blogs/slacktivist/2012/05/21/al-mohler-says-the-apostle-peter-was-wrong-and-thats-why-evangelicals-should-focus-on-homosexuality/">Fred Clark over at Slactivist</a> did.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /><span style="color: #741b47;">But while popular, this view utterly contradicts Peter’s own interpretation of his vision. If Mohler is right, then Peter was wrong. If Peter was right, then Mohler is wrong.<br /><br />For Peter, his rooftop vision wasn’t about kosher dietary laws — it was about people. He says this explicitly: “God has shown me that I should not call anyone profane or unclean.”<br /><br />That’s a very different conclusion from the one Mohler draws. Mohler says this story — this scripture — is about purity laws. Peter says this story is about God’s commandment that no people should be excluded as impure.<br /><br />I’m going to have to side with Peter on this one. Peter was right. Mohler is wrong.<br /><br />Mohler’s case for his interpretation of Peter’s vision only looks plausible if you extract a tiny portion of the story from the rest of the chapter, but if you read <a href="http://bible.oremus.org/?ql=204624936">all of Acts 10</a>, you’ll see that the story doesn’t allow that.</span></span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">That was point one.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Point two:</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /><span style="color: #0b5394;">The New Testament condemns both male and female homosexual behavior. The Apostle Paul, for example, points specifically to homosexuality as evidence of human sinfulness. His point is not merely that homosexuals are sinners but that all humanity has sinned and fallen short of the glory of God.<br /><br />The New Testament condemns a full range of sexual sins, and homosexuality is specified among these sins. In Romans, Paul refers to homosexuality in terms of “dishonorable passions,” “contrary to nature” and “shameless.” As New Testament scholar Robert Gagnon has stated, the Bible’s indictment “encompasses every and any form of homosexual behavior.”</span></span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Yeah, "Paul said". Not Christ, Paul. Christ said nothing about homosexuality. He did strongly and specifically condemn divorce, but all Mohler has to say about it is:</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The church failed miserably in the face of the challenge of divorce. This requires an honest admission and strong corrective.</span><br />
<div>
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">If you were honestly trying to structure your lives and society to follow Christ you would do more than just give it a throwaway line. You'd condemn divorce and excommunicate everyone who ever divorced and remarried. Full stop. You wouldn't waste time and energy going after an issue Christ didn't see as important enough to mention. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">But then when you look at the emphasis Conservative Christians place on Paul, you have to wonder who exactly they're following. These Pauline "Christians" follow the <a href="http://christianity.about.com/od/conversion/qt/romansroad.htm">Romans Road</a> to salvation, instead of the Gospels. After all, the Gospels make you work, but by following Paul you just have to believe really hard.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">A few more points:</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Some people then ask, “What about slavery and polygamy?” In the first place, the New Testament never commands slavery, and it prizes freedom and human dignity.<span style="background-color: white; font-size: 12px; line-height: 20px; text-align: left;"> </span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />If you're going to follow Paul than you really need to pay attention.<br /><br /><span style="color: #b45f06;">Ephesians6:5<br /><br />Slaves, be obedient to those who are your masters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in the sincerity of your heart, as to Christ; <br /><br />Colossians 3:22<br /><br />Slaves, in all things obey those who are your masters on earth, not with external service, as those who merely please men, but with sincerity of heart, fearing the Lord. </span></span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Ahem.</span></div>
<div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Why are Christians so concerned with homosexuality? In the first place, that question is answered by the simple fact that it is the most pressing moral question of our times. </span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I call circular logic on this one. Homosexuality is a big deal to Christians because everyone is making a fuss. And everyone is making a fuss because it's a big deal to members of the majority religion, Christianity.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="color: #0b5394;">Christians who are seriously committed to the authority of the Bible have no choice but to affirm all that the Bible teaches </span><br /><br />And we're right back around to the whole divorce/shellfish issue. You cannot have it both ways.</span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">But all of this misses the big point. The big point is that not all of us are Christians. Some of us really don't care what the Bible says. We follow good common sense when it comes to how to treat others. And when you try to turn your religious beliefs into law, you're violating our right to believe as we want.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Believe what you want. Live as you want. Stop trying to force the rest of us to be just like you. We're not, and you're just going to have to deal with that.</span></div>

<br />
<br /><span style="color: #741b47;">Dear Girls, <br /><br /><br />You are powerful beyond words, because you threaten to unravel the control of corrupt men who abuse their authority</span><div>
<span style="color: #741b47;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #741b47;">....... <br /><br />If you were not powerful, they would not take you so seriously and they take you very, veryseriously. You should, too. You can set the world on fire. <br /><br /><br />Girls, these things happen because there are men with power who <i>fear you</i> and want to control you. I know that I have equated relatively benign baseball games with deadly, honor killings <i>but, whereas one is a type of daily, seemingly harmless micro-aggression and the other is a lethal macro-aggression they share the same roots. The basis of both, and escalating actions in between, is the <b>same:</b></i><b> To teach you, and all girls subject to these men and their authority, a lesson: "Know your place." </b>I also know that there are places where girls are marginalized and hurt that are not religious. But all over the world these hypocritical, pious men, in their shamefully obvious wrongness, represent the sharp-edged tip of an iceberg, the visible surface of a deep and vast harm. They employ the full range of their earthly and divine influence to make sure, as early as possible, that you and the boys around you understand what they want your relative roles to be. Where there are patriarchal religions girls, in dramatically varying and extreme degrees, disproportionately suffer. Understand these men for what they are: bullies. Do not internalize what they would have you believe.</span><br /><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Read the rest <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/soraya-chemaly/message-to-girls-about-re_b_1518849.html">here</a>.

<br />
<br />
OK, I have to pick on this one.
<br />
<br />
Doug Phillips, of Vision Forum fame, has a new scheme going, <a href="http://hazardousjourneys.org/learnmore/">The Hazardous Journeys Society</a>. From the looks of it, from this side of the rabbit hole, it looks like a company that arranges and markets wicked cool father/son vacations.
<br />
<br />
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="300" mozallowfullscreen="" src="http://player.vimeo.com/video/37457214?byline=0&portrait=0&color=af3119" webkitallowfullscreen="" width="400"></iframe>
<br />
<br />
Now there is absolutely nothing wrong with wicked cool father/son vacations. Based on his videos here it looks like a lot of camping crossed with some kind of reenactment. I mean why else would you use such clunky, old-school equipment? But if that's what turns your crank go for it.
<br />
<br />
The problem I have is that he touts his trips as the way to get your boys to achieve manhood. That they involve bravery and risk, facing the enemy and testing yourself and growing into something greater than yourself.
<br />
<br />
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="300" mozallowfullscreen="" src="http://player.vimeo.com/video/37457215?byline=0&portrait=0&color=af3119" webkitallowfullscreen="" width="400"></iframe>
<br />
<br />
I'm sorry, but going on a camping trip with your church group isn't going to test you. It's not going to prove anything about your manhood. You're not really facing anything. And it irritates me no end that he crows about how his little packaged tours are the be-all end-all of turning boys into men.
<br />
<br />
Um, no. Just...no.
<br />
<br />
For some reason I find his swaggering exaggeration extremely annoying.
<br />
<br />
Want to see real courage? Real bravery? A real test of manhood? Real risk and real daring and really facing the enemy? Um, try feeding the hungry. Clothing the naked. Helping the sick. You know the drill. Or try something harder. Get between a gay kid and a bully. Adopt a foster kid. You're a lawyer, go to bat for a family losing their home to an illegal foreclosure. Take those adult sons you keep attached to your coattails and train with Search and Rescue. Not your made up, only for church members version, I mean go to the local Sheriff's office and volunteer. Take your bible to the nearest ER and hold hands with a homeless person while they die.<br />
<br />
Do something real.
<br />
<br />
Or, you know, my personal favorite example of the really, really real. You're too old, but your sons aren't. Granted they'll have to serve with gays and with women and with people of other faiths, but hey, risk, right? It will certainly turn them into men, it has for 237 years now. Real courage, real bravery, the entire deal.
<br />
<br />
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="233" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/tYrBSTBHCS4" width="400"></iframe>
<br />
<br />
Or take your kids on vacation with your friends, whatever works for you. But stop pretending it's anything more than that. We know better.
<br />
<br />
Oh, and Joshua and Justice and the rest of you? If you think you're really ready for it.<br />

It just keeps getting better. The Military Religious Freedom Foundation received an e-mail recently from a woman's prayer group.<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="background-color: #ead1dc;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 24px; text-align: left;">Now for our prayer, we pray that the women who work in your MFRR and the women in your family will befall fast moving breast cancer which can not ever be cured. </span> </span></blockquote>

Now I am compelled to point out that according to <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Religion_in_the_United_States">Wikipedia</a> 60-75% of Americans identify themselves as Christians. Which means the vast majority of this list is showing their pro-life Christian compassion. This also explains my personal favorite:<br />

At age sixteen, Millet entered the Massachusetts regiment, first as a drummer boy and then a surgical assistant (helping his father, a surgeon) in the American Civil War. He graduated from Harvard with a Master of Arts degree. He worked as a reporter and editor for the Boston Courier and then as a correspondent for the Advertiser at the Philadelphia Centennial Exposition. </span><div><span><br /></span></div><div><span>He became a member of the Society of American Artists in 1880, and in 1885 was elected as a member of the National Academy of Design, New York and as Vice-Chairman of the Fine Arts Committee. He was made a trustee of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and sat on the advisory committee of the National Gallery of Art. He was decorations director for the World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago in 1893, where he is credited with having invented the first form of spray paint. His career included work with a number of worlds' fairs, including Vienna, Chicago, Paris, and Tokyo, where he made contributions as a juror, administrator, mural painter/decorator, or adviser.<br /><br />Millet was among the founders of the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, and was influential in the early days of the American Federation of Arts. He was involved with the American Academy in Rome from its inception and served as Secretary from 1904-1911.<br /><br /><a href="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/d0/Archibald_Willingham_Butt.jpg/220px-Archibald_Willingham_Butt.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 220px; height: 309px;" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/d0/Archibald_Willingham_Butt.jpg/220px-Archibald_Willingham_Butt.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br />Major Archibald Willingham Butt (September 26, 1865 – April 15, 1912) was an influential military aide to U.S. presidents Theodore Roosevelt and William Howard Taft. Before becoming an aide to Roosevelt, Butt had pursued a career in journalism and served in the Spanish-American War. </span></div><div><span><br /></span></div><div><span>On January 2, 1900, Butt received a commission as a Captain of United States Volunteers in the United States Army. He served in the Philippines from 1900 to 1904. In 1904, he was made Depot Quartermaster of Washington, D.C., where he met President Theodore Roosevelt. In 1906, he was sent to Cuba to as part of a pacification force. In 1908, now a captain, Butt was recalled to Washington to serve as chief military aide to President Roosevelt. When William Howard Taft became President the following year, Butt stayed on in the same capacity. In 1911, Butt was promoted to the rank of major.<br /><br />Millet was known as a homosexual at the time of his death. He and Major Butt were living together and traveled together as partners when Major Butt went to Europe to recover his health before the presidential primaries of 1912.<br /><br />One hundred years ago this morning both men were seen helping women and children board the lifeboats on the <span style="font-style: italic; ">Titanic </span>with no thought to their own lives, and then retiring to the smoking cabin to spend their last moments together.<br /><br />In 1913, The Butt-Millet Memorial Fountain, named for both Archibald and Francis, was constructed near the White House in the Ellipse.<br /><br />Taken from Wikipedia <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archibald_Butt">here </a>and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Francis_Davis_Millet">here</a>.</span></div>The Knitting Ladyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13056690785535492562noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21244945.post-74036445262838774592012-04-11T23:39:00.007-07:002012-04-11T23:49:57.716-07:00More of that Christian compassion<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMPw3zkLEVA4gf-SSxN2Yn9MT6fTBYfkE6Y7uwjMQJusZ3o4gbjU4PfETfOImUCjKu65QjAhWYFHwoEjNMJX6Tm0fgoHQK2WaFKiaLCvRKMBW3O5DUjYiB4sW0OXj1yVwR7Lm5Gg/s1600/AqO6DW5CQAE0glX.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 239px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMPw3zkLEVA4gf-SSxN2Yn9MT6fTBYfkE6Y7uwjMQJusZ3o4gbjU4PfETfOImUCjKu65QjAhWYFHwoEjNMJX6Tm0fgoHQK2WaFKiaLCvRKMBW3O5DUjYiB4sW0OXj1yVwR7Lm5Gg/s400/AqO6DW5CQAE0glX.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5730400438345504978" /></a><div><a href="http://www.democraticunderground.com/12305775">H/T to Democratic Underground</a></div><div><br /></div><div><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ahlquist_v._Cranston">Jessica Ahlquist</a> got another death threat.</div><div><br /></div><div><span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; background-color: rgb(230, 230, 230); "></span><span><span><blockquote>The cops will not watch you forever.<br />We will get you good.<br />Tell your little asshole sister to watch her back.<br />There are many of us, “Crusaders,” we have a better pool going to see who gets you first!<br />Your fuckin old man better move or keep you locked up if you know whats good for you.<br />We know where he works, what kind of cars you have + the plate numbers of the cars.<br />Get the fuck out of R.I. you bitchin whore.

The trust is broken, the dream shattered, the damage just too much to ever repair. Things have been said and done that can't ever be unsaid or undone. There's so much bad history that there's no way a mere human heart can ever forgive it all. It's so far gone that pain and rage are all that remain -- and the longer they stay together, the more brutal it's likely to get.<br /><br />If, as George Lakoff says, we tend to think of the nation as a family, then my friend's approach for identifying salvageable marriages may apply just as well to salvaging our democracy.</i><br /><br />I totally agree with her friend's description of a zombie marriage. I don't know about you, but I don't trust the bullying, threatening, Tea Party, "Christian" GOP any longer. And that applies to the individual members as well as the collective groups.<br /><br /><i>This is a scary thought, because right now, America is riven by two very different visions of the future, held by two partners who obviously have radically different visions about where we should be going.<br /><br />On one hand, you've got most of the country -- center-right, center, center-left, and progressive -- which sees us as a family in trouble, but which also believes that if we return to our bedrock agreements, focus on solving our shared problems and fall back on our basic goodwill and common sense, we should be able to sort things out. This is the two-thirds of America that poll after poll shows is ready to move forward on issues like economic transformation, inequality, corruption and corporate overreach, climate change and energy policy, and remaking our infrastructure. There's a sense that, even though the challenges are big, we can solve them if we can come together, treat each other decently, reaffirm our commitment to the future, and force the democratic process to work again.<br /><br />On the other hand, there's another group that has entirely checked out on us, and turned ugly and abusive. The conservative minority is acting like Lakoff's canonical Strict Father scorned: When the family rejects his leadership and his attempts at authoritarian contol, he sinks into a punitive, bullying rage, lashing out at the rest of us for what he's come to believe is irredeemable broken faith because we won't let him be the boss. By his behavior, he is telling us in no uncertain terms that he wants a scorched-earth divorce -- the kind that leaves the rest of us broke, ruined, miserable, and utterly at his mercy. He has gone so far as to hire batteries of lawyers and lobbyists to accomplish this, and is taking a bully's evident glee in his success.</i><br /><br /><br />That's a remarkably good description right there. That is exactly what the current political climate feels like.<br /><br /><i>This kind of dogged will to destroy is inherently pathological, whether it's happening within a marriage or a nation. There's no way it can ever be construed as healthy. My friend the marriage counselor would have looked at this situation -- one spouse overwhelmed by irrational, abusive, controlling rage and constantly imputing unspeakable motives to the other -- and written the marriage off.</i><br /><br />Bingo<br /><br /><i>But we can't do that. We are still, for better or for worse, the biggest, richest family on the planet. </i><br /><br />So?<br /><br /><i>On one hand, there's no way for them to leave, because there's nowhere for them to go, and no legal divorce is possible.</i><br /><br />Yes there is.<br /><br /><i>On the other, letting them destroy the great house of America, built through generations and centuries to its present stature, is simply not an option. </i><br /><br />I'll be disagreeing with this in a moment.<br /><br /><i>So what do we do? If these people really don't want to be in the marriage -- if they are, in fact, trying to destroy it by any means possible -- how on earth can we continue to function as a family?</i><br /><br />We can't. As millions of battered wives and abused families will tell you, we can't.<br /><br />--------<br /><br />At this point in the article she goes into suggestions.<br /><br /><i>We need to close ranks around them, building alliances and strategies that will enable us to protect ourselves and each other from their depredations.</i><br /><br />I'm picturing a room with a screaming bully, and the victims huddled in the corners, shielding each others faces with their combined backs.<br /><br /><i>The most important and critical thing we need to do is to restore trust; trust in each other, and in the idea of ourselves as a good and worthy family.</i><br /><br />And in the huddle they're whispering to each other that they're good people. Even though the big man in the room is screaming about how their losers and sluts and cowards and liars, they whisper to each other that they really are good.<br /><br /><i>We can refuse to buy into divide-and-conquer strategies, realizing that in this situation, the only distinction that matters at all is the one between those who are rooting for this country to succeed, and those who are out to destroy it.</i><br /><br />And they are not. The big man ranting and raving is the problem, not the group huddled in the corner. <br /><br /><i>We can decide that we're going to stay sane in the face of the craziness -- and stand with anybody, regardless of their politics, who is also acting in good faith to stand against the bullies.</i><br /><br />That involves standing against them, not huddling in the corner.<br /><br /><i>We can work to create a consensus vision of the next America we want to become, and form trusting relationships with others to make that happen.</i><br /><br />More whispering, this time daydreams of what life would be like if Daddy would just die already...<br /><br /><i>We can refuse to reward bullying behavior with success. (Or, for that matter, with any more attention than it takes to get the bullies out of the room.)</i><br /><br />Back to the whole standing vs. huddling<br /><br /><i>We can stand up before each other and the world and say: "Those people do not speak for us, and their squalid, angry vision is not our vision. We are a better nation than that."</i><br /><br />And this person I keep going home with and trying to reason with is not really my husband. <br /><br /><i>And we can, simply, continue to come together and govern. Because the specter of citizens civilly and peacefully exercising power is, above everything else, the one thing they fear the most, the biggest threat to the radical anti-democracy agenda.</i><br /><br />Yes, we can keep running the house and succeeding in school and pretending there is no abuse going on at all.<br /><br />You know, this strategy doesn't work in abusive families. I don't know why she thinks any of this will work here.<br /><br />------<br /><br />Back to where she says there's no where to go, no legal divorce, and we cannot destroy America.<br /><br />One of my favorite quotes is from George William Curtis<br /><br /><blockquote><span >A man's country is not a certain area of land, mountains, rivers, woods, but it is a principle. And patriotism is loyalty to the principle.</span></blockquote><br />If you believe in our core values, the right to life, liberty, justice, equality, the common good, and popular sovereignty among <a href="http://www.pbs.org/newshour/extra/teachers/lessonplans/general/corevalues.html">others </a>then you are an American, no matter where you plant your feet. Americans believe everyone deserves those rights and will fight for everyone to get them and keep them. That is what makes us who we are.<br /><br />Splitting up this country will not change that.<br />Moving to another country will not change that.<br /><br />What stops an abusive marriage when all trust is lost is a divorce. Either they split up the house, which in this case would be secession, or the victims run, in this case to the safe shelters of Europe or Canada.<br /><br />Yes, all of us. All 200 million of us if that's what it takes. Pack up and leave. Granted the ones with the education and ability and money will be the ones going, leaving a "third world" country in their wake, but if that's what the abuser wants...<br /><br />Or give them the southern states they've always wanted. Same problem, no more well-off, educated "upper middle" class to pay the taxes for them. Just the wealthy and the serfs. But again, if that's what they want...<br /><br />They can have the land if they want it, but it will be empty of victims to torment, and they will only have themselves to blame.<br /><br />Because the only way to deal with a abuser is leave him far, far behind you.<br /></span><br /></span>The Knitting Ladyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13056690785535492562noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21244945.post-34617626832277230652012-03-09T22:40:00.006-08:002012-03-09T22:47:32.795-08:00Something finished<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal; "><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbTHGBleHAXca-T4gCjlnSWNY3TYpv5KGHSzx3wq1tMqXV61p8sai3LxMfQl4W0tKuIdQb9RD5VYm4H_gy7DvMGqWQ45HxbKGEuZcCEFTYZ05STVk-ihgBywNLlV1IwhZwenVhng/s1600/canadian-flag-heart.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 191px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbTHGBleHAXca-T4gCjlnSWNY3TYpv5KGHSzx3wq1tMqXV61p8sai3LxMfQl4W0tKuIdQb9RD5VYm4H_gy7DvMGqWQ45HxbKGEuZcCEFTYZ05STVk-ihgBywNLlV1IwhZwenVhng/s200/canadian-flag-heart.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5718154673813339794" /></a>So I decided I needed a touchstone, given the insanity of politics these days.</span><div style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal; "><span ><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_MhHEARXs-AI1bmmja_bB2eZMVBUyuLTq_fqL8wCQn_oUG9UsmLryNUtz4Rplqf1tUNWj4JvYlnXcubMNZXYvxgPTJE3DuZ_Xz-6Rm7hN5smbAEt2XINfjwr7D9LOD9Hsp8X_UA/s1600/maple-leaf.gif"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 176px; height: 114px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_MhHEARXs-AI1bmmja_bB2eZMVBUyuLTq_fqL8wCQn_oUG9UsmLryNUtz4Rplqf1tUNWj4JvYlnXcubMNZXYvxgPTJE3DuZ_Xz-6Rm7hN5smbAEt2XINfjwr7D9LOD9Hsp8X_UA/s200/maple-leaf.gif" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5718154957544761842" /></a><br />I made a small Maple Leaf quilt block to hang above my computer.</span></div><div style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal; "><span ><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUEvPKvR4_PkYvXrcaJz07bVLQO2nbP0g_W6U8SW6BKcfK1dhD1wWrurEAVMUGpcJJ8If9lvrWuqkHbNhOmBwahopcRcynIjeped7D8qE0G2dyf7Zx1ZaZXhjYMet4EsAOMKKgnQ/s1600/maple2.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUEvPKvR4_PkYvXrcaJz07bVLQO2nbP0g_W6U8SW6BKcfK1dhD1wWrurEAVMUGpcJJ8If9lvrWuqkHbNhOmBwahopcRcynIjeped7D8qE0G2dyf7Zx1ZaZXhjYMet4EsAOMKKgnQ/s200/maple2.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5718155172703649682" /></a><br /></span></div><div style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal; "><span >A small reminder of a place where my family might actually belong someday.</span></div><div style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal; "><span ><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUd0RNV_R1PXGR-o__jic3RICxP8l5o8DBwgoq2G3WcccNGbz5hFGe4XsonsFMR2ladi3CaHmZUa2sQLiTQf7hG1WdNTrnRPc1w48YnbNlPhAL4r10Cod7V6AqPLDhhnAgrtbo7Q/s1600/maple1.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 146px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUd0RNV_R1PXGR-o__jic3RICxP8l5o8DBwgoq2G3WcccNGbz5hFGe4XsonsFMR2ladi3CaHmZUa2sQLiTQf7hG1WdNTrnRPc1w48YnbNlPhAL4r10Cod7V6AqPLDhhnAgrtbo7Q/s200/maple1.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5718155364244548626" /></a><br />It came out to aprox. 12" square.

As a basis for understanding this concept:<br /><br />a. Students know cells are enclosed within semipermeable membranes that regulate<br />their interaction with their surroundings.<br /><br />b. Students know enzymes are proteins that catalyze biochemical reactions without<br />altering the reaction equilibrium and the activities of enzymes depend on the<br />temperature, ionic conditions, and the pH of the surroundings.<br /><br />c. Students know how prokaryotic cells, eukaryotic cells (including those from<br />plants and animals), and viruses differ in complexity and general structure.<br /><br />d. Students know the central dogma of molecular biology outlines the flow of infor<br />mation from transcription of ribonucleic acid (RNA) in the nucleus to translation<br />of proteins on ribosomes in the cytoplasm.<br /><br />e. Students know the role of the endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi apparatus in the<br />secretion of proteins.<br /><br />f. Students know usable energy is captured from sunlight by chloroplasts and is<br />stored through the synthesis of sugar from carbon dioxide.<br /><br />g. Students know the role of the mitochondria in making stored chemical-bond<br />energy available to cells by completing the breakdown of glucose to carbon<br />dioxide.<br /><br />h. Students know most macromolecules (polysaccharides, nucleic acids, proteins,<br />lipids) in cells and organisms are synthesized from a small collection of simple<br />precursors.<br /><br />i. Students know how chemiosmotic gradients in the mitochondria and chloroplast<br />store energy for ATP production.<br /><br />j Students know how eukaryotic cells are given shape and internal organization by<br />a cytoskeleton or cell wall or both.<br /><br />Genetics<br /><br />2. Mutation and sexual reproduction lead to genetic variation in a population. As a<br />basis for understanding this concept:<br /><br />a. Students know meiosis is an early step in sexual reproduction in which the pairs<br />of chromosomes separate and segregate randomly during cell division to pro<br />duce gametes containing one chromosome of each type.<br /><br />b. Students know only certain cells in a multicellular organism undergo meiosis.<br /><br />c. Students know how random chromosome segregation explains the probability<br />that a particular allele will be in a gamete.<br /><br />d. Students know new combinations of alleles may be generated in a zygote through<br />the fusion of male and female gametes (fertilization).<br /><br />e. Students know why approximately half of an individual’s DNA sequence comes<br />from each parent.<br /><br />f. Students know the role of chromosomes in determining an individual’s sex.<br /><br />g. Students know how to predict possible combinations of alleles in a zygote from<br />the genetic makeup of the parents.<br /><br />3. A multicellular organism develops from a single zygote, and its phenotype depends<br />on its genotype, which is established at fertilization. As a basis for understanding<br />this concept:<br /><br />a. Students know how to predict the probable outcome of phenotypes in a genetic<br />cross from the genotypes of the parents and mode of inheritance (autosomal or<br />X-linked, dominant or recessive).<br /><br />b. Students know the genetic basis for Mendel’s laws of segregation and indepen<br />dent assortment.<br /><br />c. Students know how to predict the probable mode of inheritance from a pedigree<br />diagram showing phenotypes.<br /><br />d. Students know how to use data on frequency of recombination at meiosis to estimate genetic distances between loci and to interpret genetic maps of chromo<br />somes.<br /><br />4. Genes are a set of instructions encoded in the DNA sequence of each organism that<br />specify the sequence of amino acids in proteins characteristic of that organism. As a<br />basis for understanding this concept:<br /><br />a. Students know the general pathway by which ribosomes synthesize proteins,<br />using tRNAs to translate genetic information in mRNA.<br /><br />b. Students know how to apply the genetic coding rules to predict the sequence of<br />amino acids from a sequence of codons in RNA.<br /><br />c. Students know how mutations in the DNA sequence of a gene may or may not<br />affect the expression of the gene or the sequence of amino acids in an encoded<br />protein.<br /><br />d. Students know specialization of cells in multicellular organisms is usually due to<br />different patterns of gene expression rather than to differences of the genes<br />themselves.<br /><br />e. Students know proteins can differ from one another in the number and sequence<br />of amino acids.<br /><br />f. Students know why proteins having different amino acid sequences typically have<br />different shapes and chemical properties.<br /><br />5. The genetic composition of cells can be altered by incorporation of exogenous DNA<br />into the cells. As a basis for understanding this concept:<br /><br />a. Students know the general structures and functions of DNA, RNA, and protein.<br /><br />b.

Students know how genetic engineering (biotechnology) is used to produce novel<br />biomedical and agricultural products.<br /><br />d. Students know how basic DNA technology (restriction digestion by endonu<br />cleases, gel electrophoresis, ligation, and transformation) is used to construct<br />recombinant DNA molecules.<br /><br />e. Students know how exogenous DNA can be inserted into bacterial cells to alter<br />their genetic makeup and support expression of new protein products.<br /></span></span></div><div><span ><span ><br />Physiology<br /><br />9. As a result of the coordinated structures and functions of organ systems, the internal<br />environment of the human body remains relatively stable (homeostatic) despite<br />changes in the outside environment. As a basis for understanding this concept:<br /><br />a. Students know how the complementary activity of major body systems provides<br />cells with oxygen and nutrients and removes toxic waste products such as carbon<br />dioxide.<br /><br />b. Students know how the nervous system mediates communication between differ<br />ent parts of the body and the body’s interactions with the environment.<br /><br />c. Students know how feedback loops in the nervous and endocrine systems regulate<br />conditions in the body.<br /><br />d. Students know the functions of the nervous system and the role of neurons in<br />transmitting electrochemical impulses.<br /><br />e. Students know the roles of sensory neurons, interneurons, and motor neurons in<br />sensation, thought, and response.<br /><br />f.

The young women in that family seem quite intelligent and competent and quite capable of matching or even exceeding their peers in intellectual ability. I'm questioning why an 18 year old is encountering 5th grade level material for the first time, why is she so far behind. Since she does seem perfectly capable I can only assume it's because she has not encountered the material before. Since she's been homeschooled that would lead me to believe that her parents have not made the material available to her. From where I stand there can be three reasons for that.</span></span></span></div><div><span><span><span ><br /></span></span></span></div><div><span><span><span >1) Ignorance. Either her parents are incapable themselves or they are not aware of state standards and what is expected of her public or private school peers. Now I know they aren't in California, I used that as an example because I'm familiar with those standards, but other states aren't that far off. Either they were told that the states have no standards or they assumed that homeschooling was always the better option and so they didn't bother to compare their curriculum to the state standards or they were told that the curriculum they were using met the standards and they trusted their vendor and didn't check or....well, I'm not certain what else it could be. But as her parents it was their responsibility to check this.</span></span></span></div><div><span><span><span ><br /></span></span></span></div><div><span><span><span >2) Ideology. In this world not of it, right? So who cares what the standards are, we should focus on the bible. And why would a woman need to know those things, all she's going to be is a wife and mother. Too much education can lead to discontentment. Again, that would be the decision of the parents.</span></span></span></div><div><span><span><span ><br /></span></span></span></div><div><span><span><span >3) Overwork. Not that chores or helping around the house is bad but too much time spent working around the farm and caring for little brothers and sisters while Mom put more arrows in the quiver can leave not enough time left for her studies. Again, this comes back to the parents having more children then they themselves can care for without overburdening their older children. (And for those who chose not to use birth control, abstinence works for married couples too.)</span></span></span></div><div><span><span><span ><br /></span></span></span></div><div><span><span><span >Regardless of the reason it's up to the parents of homeschooled children to see that they keep up with their peers academically. If an 18 year old is doing 5th grade work clearly they haven't. And I feel sorry for such a bright, capable young lady in that position. I only hope she takes control of her own education now that she's an adult and works her way up to the standard. I wish her well in that.</span></span></span></div><div><span><span><span ><br /></span></span></span></div><div><span><span><span >And my original point stands, it's a very pretty blog, but if you aren't educating your children then it's just window dressing, not something to aspire to.</span></span></span></div>The Knitting Ladyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13056690785535492562noreply@blogger.com0
